10 days ago, we posted a review+giveaway article featuring 4 Qualcomm Quick Charge compatible charging products from Aukey. We randomly selected a set of winners for each product after verifying their entry eligibility, and within hours of the giveaway closing we began sending out the first batch of private messages over our forums.
We waited approximately...

Android is a wonderful platform: the sheer flexibility of the mobile OS is the main reason we all choose to use it instead of its competitors. Because Android is so flexible, it leaves plenty of room for developers to create a wide number of applications and services.
As a lover of all things Android, I have...

Last week, we published an article documenting some of the experiences we’ve had with the Galaxy Note 7, sourced from four different units from different XDA members. Shortly after our article went live, The Verge had a somewhat dismissive say in the matter.
We were surprised by the spread of our article. In retrospect, the fact...

This spring we announced XDA Ad-Free, which lets you remove all the sucky ads from XDA if you pay a little. Not only does ad-free give you a higher density of content, but the site becomes faster without ads.
Over the past few months, we’ve received a lot of questions relating to ads, the pricing of ad-free,...

Developers, Developers, Developers. We love our developers here at XDA. We're maybe not as outwardly-loud through text as Mr. Ballmer was in the linked clip, but without developers there wouldn't even be an XDA-Developers.
You guys provide the backbone for our forums; your work is what draws millions to our forums every year. You guys put so...

There are many things we take for granted in this world. When it comes to the Internet, we expect services to be made available to us cheap (or even free), fast, and convenient. Depending on how long you've been flashing custom ROMs, you've probably downloaded tens of gigabytes of data just to get that latest...

We’ve been hard at work at the XDA HQ for close to two years, with only one goal — to answer a fundamental question. That question is, “Just how powerful can Android get?”... and that is a question we will still be asking for a long time to come.
As many of you have guessed and...

We’ve been hard at work at the XDA HQ for close to two years, with only one goal -- to answer a fundamental question. That question is, “Just how powerful can Android get?”
After years of development, and countless bricked devices, we are ready to take the wraps off XDA’s biggest project yet: the XDA Labphone,...

XDA-Developers has, over the years, grown to be a lot more than just a forum for people to discuss phones. We have grown in terms of content, membership, and staff. This last point is the one I will be touching upon today.
Our staff is a very tightly knit core of approximately 100 moderators and administrators....

Historically, adding a forum on XDA has been decided by having our intern spin around in an office chair, blindfolded, throwing darts at a board. Actually, we add forums based on which devices we think will have strong community support.
We don't get it right 100% of the time, but a lot of the time, just...

It’s been around two weeks since I began testing the Nexus 5X for an upcoming review, and while writing the section on software, I couldn’t help but feel that it wouldn’t be able to cover some of the more subjective thoughts I have on Marshmallow.
Therefore, I want to let those thoughts out in an editorial,...
